keydiver Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 Love your zoa collection! Now you can let it all grow out!!! That's the plan! I've got an mp-10QD coming in next week, then no more purchases for a while since Fall semester is starting soon and I've got books to pay for. After the mp-10 install, this tank is going on autopilot for a while. Link to comment

Thanks Matt! Wish I still had the predator blood, it was one of the many irreplaceable mushrooms lost in the tank crash. Link to comment

Sucker is like 3" across. Lol Do it! Just Buy small and it's not so expensive. I got into mushrooms 4 years ago when nobody wanted them. Now whenever something goes up on the forums it gets snatched up in 20 mins. Throw back to when WWC bounce mushrooms were selling for $200 FROM WWC Link to comment

Just saw this one on Facebook. Want to buy it so bad. Lol. It's a nice shroomie no doubt, But personally I would not spend so much on it, those "Uranium Bounces" are everywhere, you can find them at local fish stores if you're lucky. Link to comment
keydiver Posted July 11, 2015 Author Share Posted July 11, 2015 A quick reminder to everyone that works with zoanthids/palythoas: ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS wear goggles and gloves. Last night I was fragging a few colonies and got a squirt of palythoa juice right to the eye. The last 24 hours have been severe pain and swelling. If it gets any worse tomorrow I'm due for an ER visit. CORALS DO HURT! Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 No problem, thanks for taking an interest! Harry did Chris Langdon ever get back to you? I have a peer working at RSMAS right now. NO! I called him, emailed, talked to his secretary, but could never get him! I would love something! If you have anything, text me! Link to comment

FlowerMama Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Yikes. If I were you I'd go to the ER now to reduce the damage, give you something to reduce the swelling, the spreading. Link to comment

If I were you I'd go to the ER now to reduce the damage, give you something to reduce the swelling, the spreading. Thanks for the concern ladies! I stopped by a buddies house and had him check me out (He's about to finish up med school here) and he told me to wait a day before going to the ER since my co-pay for those visits are pretty insane. I'm happy to report that my eye has cleared up over the last 48 hours, but it was not a fun experience. My upper lip went numb after 36 hrs and my eye had some spasms going on, but all is well now with little to no pain. The only adverse symptom as of now is a popped blood vessel in my right eye that makes me look stoned, but my trusty aviators will hide that until recovery. For anyone else tuning into this issue, please remember to wear goggles/gloves while working with palys/zoas and don't learn the hard way like I did! Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Yeah, no doubt. I heard they can squirt like grapefruits. Link to comment
keydiver Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 Wow I've let this thread go six months without an update. MACNA was awesome, met a ton of really cool people and sniped some great coral. I'm slowly getting my mushroom/zoanthid collection back to where it was before the crash last December. Here's a big ol' photo dump for everyone to enjoy. The Zoanthid Island Top-Down JF Bloodshots Tyree Orange Rainbows Utter Chaos (That have morphed on me for some reason) Blondies King Midas and Mandarin Oranges Pissed off Rastas Candy Apple Reds WWC Pink Kraks Bondies, Pink Kraks, and ricordea garden WWC Twizzlers Red Hornets and LC Pink Rainbows Ricordea Rock Mushroom Garden No namer super awesome rhodactis CC Vapor Mushroom Rainbow Yuma Gumdrop Mushroom Some wild-type bounce WWC Biohazard Bounce Jawbreaker (It had a bleaching episode and is just starting to get back to what it once was) Go Gata Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Wow, that CC Vapor Mushroom. Gorgeous! Yeah, I was wondering how ya were, hadn't heard much. Do you visit the Shroom Room on FB? Good God those mushrooms, and their insane expense. Link to comment

Good God those mushrooms, and their insane expense. I'm always on the shroom room, some of those people have a serious case of coral hoarding. Not to say that I'm not guilty of it myself Link to comment
Mirya Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I might have to join this group for the shroom porn. How tempting will it be though? Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 You go to UF KeyDiver? I was just accepted to UM, UCF, FSU, etc. waiting to hear on UF Link to comment
keydiver Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 I might have to join this group for the shroom porn. How tempting will it be though? It creates an insatiable hunger to own bubbly things You go to UF KeyDiver? I was just accepted to UM, UCF, FSU, etc. waiting to hear on UF I'm finishing up this semester, on to a Master's somewhere. Good luck paying for UM, I got a 30k scholarship per year and it still would have been unreasonable financially. UF usually has a late acceptance date. All the Florida schools have their strengths and weaknesses (Except FSU, it's all weaknesses there). Link to comment

And of course your zoa collection is pretty amazing. Thanks Matt, the vapor is definitely one of my favorites! Well, I already have that... WWC Bounce or PZ Godspawn is on my bucket list. Both are amazing options, one is much more affordable Yeah UM is a fortune! They offered me some money but that tuition is crazy.
